Today we bring you a must have product for any USB 3.0 user. We reviewers and others involved in the commercial computer industry know how annoying it can be having to switch hard drives in and out on a daily base. When dealing with this you are looking at lost time or potential damage. For the consumer with no space for hard drive left in their computer, this is an excellent addition to your desk. With the new USB 3.0's capability, you're looking at ridiculously fast transfer speeds. Let’s check out the Thermaltake BlacX 5G:

Testing:I will by using a 320GB hard drive in the docking station and then running the same tests that we always use for Enclosures. I will time the speeds using a stopwatch; I will be transferring a 143mb WMV file to the hard drive and then back. For a comparison to USB 2.0 I will be doing the same test but through USB 2.0 instead of 3.0.

Conclusion:Overall The Thermaltake Blacx 5G is a great product, with much improvements from the BlacX. I love the features and how it gives you the ability to put in different sized hard drives. Another point I really liked is the use of an eject button it makes you feel like your taking it out properly, unlike other ones were you have to pull it out and your scared your going to break it.

Would I recommend this product? Defiantly, it is well made and simple to use. This isn't something I'd say that is 100% necessary for your computer, but it is defiantly an excellent product in the right hands.
